the aim of finsing the inverse is making x the subject. To start we need to multiply both sides by: (x-1), giving us:y(x-1) = 2x+1now we need to expand the brackets:yx - y = 2x+1now gather all the x compo...

To find the inverse we're wanting to make x the subject. First start by multiplying both sides by (x-1), this gives us y(x-1) = 2x+1. Expand the brackets giving yx - y = 2x+1. Gather all the x components ...

Expand: x² + 2x + 3x +6 = 2x+4
Take (2x+4) from both sides: x²+3x+2 = 0
Facorise: (x+2)(x+1) = 0
So solutions are x=-2 and x=-1

First factorise the equation into 2 sets of brackets: You can do this by looking at the constant in the quadratic, 8. Try and find 2 numbers that multiply together to make 8 (such as 4 and 2), and that...

To start off with we need to remove the two denominators (the bottom part of the fractions) on the left hand side of the equation. This can be achieved by multiplying the through the whole equation by ...
